  • TORCH POSTER SERIES

    Your Torch poster series will certainly catch the eyes of the student pilots coming through our housing office for specialized undergraduate pilot training. I will gladly take pride in displaying them.

  • GENETICS OF OBESITY

    On your Web page there is an illustration that (is going to) work well on a scientific poster discussing the genetics of obesity ("A 'Growing' Problem," September/October 2007 issue, page 8). The poster will be displayed at the upcoming 10-year anniversary of Public Health Genomics at the Centers

  • A LITTLE OFF BASE

    In reference to the "Torch Talk" letter called "Fat Chance" in your November/December 2007 issue (page 2), I think the writer is a little off base. While size and strength certainly wouldn't hurt, those are not the only criteria that make good firemen ... or women. I'm sure that a lot of people

  • EXPERT FOLLIES

    Bravo on the story "Mayhem on the Mountain" in the November/December 2007 issue of Torch (page 16). Not only was the story well-written and entertaining, but it has a great message about being prepared and not getting complacent or over-confident even if you think you are an expert at the particular

  • PARALLEL UNIVERSE

    I liked the parallels you draw that show that mishaps rise, as stress rises ("As Stress Rises, So Do Mishaps," November/December 2007 issue, page 10). Good info that people need to take to heart. I also liked how in the main story ("Stressed Out!) you demonstrated that post traumatic stress can

  • NO RELIEF IN SIGHT

    I read with interest your cover story titled "Stressed Out," (November/December 2007 issue, page 8). The story was well written and brought up some good points. Specifically, the statement "With frequent and longer combat deployments, along with more work and fewer people, the military workforce

  • TORCH CALENDAR

    We have over 650 individuals working at the 42nd Services Division. Your calendars are very popular in our division. The calendars will be given to activity managers, flight chiefs and key personnel. Thanks for all you do for the military. Your magazines are informative, and the pictures are

  • DOGGY BOOT CAMP FOR 'PROBLEM CHILD'?

    I have a dog that is probably going to be destroyed. He bit a 13-year-old kid. Even though I think the kid provoked him by kicking at him, I have to go to court to decide if the dog should be put to death. He is a very smart, energetic dog. I feel the military might be just what he needs.I read the

  • CHANGING HABITS

    I enjoyed the article and photos (you did on the cover story "Illegal Street Racing," July/August 2007 issue, page 8). Hopefully, it will help a few people with their driving habits.
